Wow ,what a brilliant result for a man who has been to hell and back.Let the party begin,at last,for him and his family. Its the best possible result,I am over the moon,some good news at last,although with the headlines in some papers today ,it was pretty obvious something was brewing!!! I wonder if any paper has the decency to print this,or even a mention on any news station ??????

"4. With the above said, it is agreed, upholding both appeals, to revoke the appealed decision and, judging as dismissed the action against them, absolve the appealing RR (Mr Amaral & others) of the totality of the requests. Costs, on boh instances, by the appealed AA (McCanns)."

“It was understood, however, in the appealed decision that, having been the now 1st appealer, Gonçalo Amaral, until 2/10/2007, the coordinator of the criminal investigation, relative to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, he would be, even after his retirement, in 1/7/2008, subject to the duties of secrecy and reserve, imposed by regulations to the PJ workers.

And, on such terms, even though personal reasons invoked in the introductory note of the book, in a situation of conflict with the rights of a good name and reputation of the appealers, he wouldn’t have, taking into account the results of the investigation, of ample and total freedom of expression – being, as such, his conduct illicit, for the effects of the Artº 484º of the C. Civil (Civil Code).

Of the above, in respect to such, was said, it clearly is inferred that the argumentation cannot be accepted.

With effect, and independently of the reasons invoked by the appealer for the publication, it couldn’t be understood that a worker, even more so retired, would maintain the alluded uties of secrecy and reserve, being limited in his right to have an opinion, relative to facts already made public by the judiciary authority and amply debated (and in a great measure by the initiative of the participants) in the media, national and foreign.”

If anyone with a grasp of Portuguese law or merely local knowledge of this most auspicious news could comment upon the likelihood of any appeal by the plaintiffs (I know what my instincts tell me), then that would go down a treat, in my considered opinion!! :)

Yes, it seems they are considering an appeal to the portuguese Supreme Court...Isabel Duarte said so, but added she did not yet know what legal strategy she is going to use (on what legal grounds will she place an appeal on behalf of her clients)

LISBON, Portugal — An appeals court in Portugal has overturned the libel conviction of a former Portuguese detective who published a book alleging the parents of missing British girl Madeleine McCann were involved in their daughter's disappearance, the parents' lawyer said Tuesday.

Lisbon lawyer Isabel Duarte told The Associated Press she was notified of the court's decision to uphold Goncalo Amaral's appeal against the order to pay Kate and Gerry McCann 500,000 euros ($568,000) in compensation. That ruling was handed down by a lower court in Lisbon a year ago, prompting Amaral to appeal.

Duarte said she intended to fight the decision at the Supreme Court, though she hadn't yet assembled her legal arguments.

Amaral was part of the police investigation into Madeleine's disappearance from a vacation home in Portugal's Algarve region in May 2007, days before her 4th birthday. In 2008 he published his book about the case called "The Truth of the Lie."

The McCanns sought 1.2 million euros in damages from Amaral, saying they were "totally destroyed" and "depressed" by Amaral's allegations and felt "ashamed" that they might appear to have been to blame for their daughter's disappearance. Amaral had argued in his defense that his claims stemmed from the police investigation and that Portuguese media had already reported the possibility that the parents might have played a role in Madeleine's disappearance.

The appeals court "decided that (Amaral) had the right to do what he did. It said he can write what he wants," Duarte, the lawyer, told the AP by telephone. "It absolved him, said he didn't have to pay anything."

She said the McCanns took the reversal in their stride after a long time battling in Portuguese courts.

"They're used to it," Duarte said.

Portuguese police closed the case in 2008 because authorities had detected no crime, but British police are still looking into it. Madeleine would turn 13 next month.

Reflections on current affairs in Portugal by journalist and author Len Port.Tuesday, April 19, 2016Amaral wins appeal in McCann caseGonçalo Amaral has won his appeal against a Lisbon court’s decision last year to award half a million euros in damages to Kate and Gerry McCann.The award arose from the McCanns’ objection to Amaral’s book Maddie: The Truth of the Lie published in 2008. The overturning of the damages ruling and the lifting of the ban on the book is said to have come as huge relief to Amaral and his many supporters and admirers.As the former coordinating detective in the original Portuguese investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, Amaral has always questioned the McCanns’ insistence that Madeleine was abducted. He believes they were involved in their daughter’s disappearance and fabricated a cover-up story.After last year’s judgement, Amaral described the court’s libel ruling as unfair in that it questioned every Portuguese citizen’s right to freedom of expression and of opinion. “For that reason I do not resign myself to the decision and I will appeal it until the very last judicial instance,” he said.The court’s latest decision was a unanimous one by three judges. It is another dramatic twist in a long-running saga that may not yet be over. The McCanns are likely to appeal against the latest judgement and take the matter to Portugal's Supreme Court.The McCanns began their action in 2009. It has been lurching along between lengthy delays ever since. The award of €500,000 plus interest was made last April, though no money was actually handed over. Madeleine’s parents had been hoping for €1.2 million in damages.

Almost a year to the day that former PJ detective Gonçalo Amaral learnt that the parents of missing Madeleine McCann had successfully sued him over his book “The Truth of the Lie”, three appeal court judges have ruled that there is essentially no case to answer.

Ferreira de Almeida, Catarina Manso and Alexandrina Branquinho have unanimously overturned the ruling of a lower court, freeing Amaral from a €500,000 bill for damages and another €106,000 in legal costs.

The McCanns are “almost certain” to appeal - but the fact that the judges were united over their 16-page decision speaks volumes.

Portuguese detective who claimed McCanns faked Maddie's disappearance after she died in apartment wins libel appealGoncolo Amaral wrote a damning book 'The Truth of the Lie' in 2008, in which he blamed the McCanns for covering up Maddie's death

A PORTUGUESE detective who wrote a book claiming the McCanns faked Maddie's disappearance after she died in their holiday apartment has won a libel appeal against her parents.

Goncalo Amaral was ordered to pay Kate and Gerry McCann half a million euros in libel damages in April last year after accusing them of faking their daughter's abduction in an explosive book.

It was today reported three appeal judges ruled in the former Portuguese police chief's favour, meaning he will not have to pay out the cash.

Goncalo launched an appeal a month after losing his long-running libel battle over the controversial 2008 book.

In 'The Truth of the Lie', he said the McCanns faked Madeleine's abduction after she died in their holiday apartment.

He was ordered to pay interest after a Lisbon judge ruled he overstepped freedom of speech limits.

The McCanns announced after the verdict they would plough “every penny” of the payout into the hunt for their daughter, three when she vanished on May 3 2007.

Amaral’s appeal thwarted their hopes of spending the money.

Clarence Mitchell, spokesman for the McCanns, was unavailable this afternoon.

Isabel Duarte, the Portuguese lawyer who represented the couple over the libel case, was said by her office to be in court and unavailable.

McCann are 'disappointed but not surprised' after Portuguese cop wins libel appeal

Isabel Duarte, the McCanns' Portuguese lawyer, said she was "disappointed" but not surprised by the appeal decision.

She said Madeleine's parents instructed her to launch an appeal of their own, to be decided by Portugal's Supreme Court.

She confirmed: “I have just learnt that the three appeal court judges have decided to overturn the original decision in favour of my clients. It was a unanimous decision. The original decision has been revoked.

“I and the McCanns are obviously disappointed but I am not surprised because one of the judges ruled in favour of a previous appeal overturning a ban on the book.

“This decision was an appreciation of the law and not the facts.

“We can appeal to the Supreme Court which we will do as we have instructions from our clients.

“My understanding from reading the appeal ruling is that the judges have decided Amaral was entitled to write a book the court calls a literary book.

“The court is basically saying he had the right to express his opinions.

“We obviously hope the appeal will succeed.

“The McCanns never received any compensation money after the original decision although the money was deposited at the court so there is no money to return to Gonzalo Amaral."

I'm glad SY announced they may ask for more time if needed. The Mcs can't say they have no money to search, thanks to GA, because they don't need to search(and have never shown how they intend to do that anyway.) if SY are doing the job.Their own arrogance in taking GA could be said to have damaged the search by spending money trying to defend their image and taking risks with court proceedings.If it had indeed been only 6 months to find M, the Mcs would have whined that everyone had given up on M and they needed more funds to find her.

http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/mccann-inquiry-detective-overturns-libel-conviction-23hjfk5j6An appeals court in Portugal has overturned the libel conviction of a former detective who published a book alleging that the parents of Madeleine McCann were involved in their daughter’s disappearance.

Gonçalo Amaral had been ordered last year to pay Gerry and Kate McCann €500,000 (£395,000) in compensation. Yesterday Isabel Duarte, a lawyer for the couple, told the Associated Press that she had been notified of judges’ decision to uphold Mr Amaral’s appeal.

Ms Duarte said that she intended to fight the ruling at the supreme court, though she had not yet assembled her legal arguments.

Mr Amaral was part of the police investigation into Madeleine’s disappearance from a holiday home in the Algarve in May 2007, days before her fourth birthday. In 2008 he published La verità della menzogna (Truth of the lie) about the case.

The McCanns sought €1.2 million in damages, saying that they were “totally destroyed” by Mr Amaral’s allegations. He argued in his defence that his claims stemmed from the police investigation and that Portuguese media had already reported the possibility that the parents might have played a role in Madeleine’s disappearance.

The appeal court “decided that [Amaral] had the right to do what he did. It said he can write what he wants,” Ms Duarte said. “It absolved him, said he didn’t have to pay anything.”

She added that the McCanns had taken the reversal in their stride after a long time battling in Portuguese courts. “They’re used to it,” she said.

Portuguese police closed their investigation into Madeleine’s disappearance in 2008 because the authorities had detected no crime, but British police are still looking into it.

Hi Textusa,apparently the former SIO Hamish Campbell has appeared on LBC Radio spouting about SY have more evidence to investigate the disappearance of Madeleine,How would a former SIO have access to what SY may or may not have in their possession, when they were released from the investigation over fifteen months ago?SY have still not given any details as to why Operation Grange could become a Homicide case,yet the lead detective DCS Guthie, is a Head of Homicide and they (SY)still state it is possible Madeleine may be alive, yet they have used Forensic dogs to have patrolled the Algarve areas looking for an alive child?

I have a confession to make. Back in 2014 I posted that I was going to write something further on the subject of the McCanns. In the end I did not, because I was surprised by the strong emotional reaction I received, from a number of decent people, who were enraged that I might be prepared to write something not to the McCanns’ advantage. But I regret being so pusillanimous, particularly as so much discussion has been suppressed by the extremely aggressive stance taken on threats of libel action on this story.

So in the full knowledge that some decent people will be outraged, here it is.

This week there have been two more developments. The Home Office has announced that it will fund still further the police investigation into Madeleine’s disappearance, on which £10 million has already been spent. Plus the appeals court in Lisbon has overturned the libel verdict against the Portuguese detective Goncalo Amaral, who led the case and formed his own firm convictions at to what happened. The 500,000 euro libel award to the McCanns is now cancelled.

None of these sums of money would matter in the least, and practically nobody would grudge any expense, to have Madeleine McCann alive, safe and happy. There can be nothing worse for a parent than the loss of a child, whatever the circumstances. If the McCanns genuinely do not know what happened, that must be agonising beyond belief. My grandparents had a nineteen year old son, an uncle I never knew, missing in action in World War 2 and the pain never left them, even when his fate was resolved.

And yet, and yet… It is because our children are so precious to us that we treat them as such. I recall an incident on Jamie’s first birthday, which we spent in a hotel in Italy. I was in the room with Jamie. My then wife had gone out to the car. The birthday cake was delivered to reception and had to be paid for. Jamie was fast asleep. I dashed out of the hotel room, down two flights of steps to reception, literally threw the money at them and ran back up the stairs. I was away under two minutes but have never experienced such adrenalin, nor would wish to again. An overwhelming instinct had kicked in telling me I had done wrong in leaving the baby unattended, even so briefly.

I find the McCanns’ behaviour indefensible. There appears to be a disconnect in the public mind in the UK which prevents people from realising just how far the McCanns were from their children. This is a useful graphic just to see the layout, (do not worry about the other info on it).

maddie2_09_map

The McCanns could not actually see their apartment from the tapas bar due to the wall around the pool. To get back there, they had to use the gate and walk around that wall, which made it a 75 yard hike. And the apartment had double doors onto the street on the opposite side of the block from that facing the pool.

I do not see how anybody understanding this geography can consider that it was normal parenting for the McCanns to leave two one year olds and a three year old, alone in the apartment in these circumstances – for hours, and repeatedly several days running. It is something I would absolutely never dream of doing with my own children. If nothing else, had any of the children been crying and in distress – and the chances of that with three tiny children are pretty high – there was no way they could hear them.

The claimed abduction is not the only thing that could have happened. Cholic. Vomiting. Sore nappies. Coughing. Choking. Bad dreams. Overheating. All kinds of thing can distress children. So far as I can judge, it is not that I am weird in my own views, rather it is absolutely accepted in British society that you do not leave 1 year olds without care of an adult. Why are the McCanns an exception?

Which leads me on to the question of why they received such exceptional treatment from British authorities, directed straight from No. 10, to the extent that Blair and Brown eventually gave them a PR representative? I used at one stage to be Resident Clerk in the FCO, a now abolished post effectively of night duty officer. I can tell you from horrible personal experience that the FCO deals with gut-wrenching cases of lost or dead children abroad frequently. I spent one of the most terrible three hours of my life, through to a cold dawn, on the phone with a hysterical bereaved mother desperate to explore any avenue that might give a possibility that the boy who had just drowned in Brazil was misidentified as her son. On average, I am afraid such tragedies get substantially less than 1% of the public resources that were devoted to the McCanns.

I am going to come straight out with this. British diplomatic staff were under direct instruction to support the McCanns far beyond the usual and to put pressure on the Portuguese authorities over the case. I have direct information that more than one of those diplomatic staff found the McCanns less than convincing and their stories inconsistent. Embassy staff were perturbed to be ordered that British authorities were to be present at every contact between the McCanns and Portuguese police.

This again is absolutely not the norm. On a daily basis more British citizens have contact with foreign authorities than the total staff of the FCO. It would be simply impossible to give that level of support to everybody. Plus, against jingoistic presumption, a great many Brits who have contact with foreign police are actually criminals.

The British Ambassador in Portugal, John Buck, had been my direct boss in the FCO. he was Deputy Head of Southern European Department when I was Head of Cyprus Section. He and his staff were concerned by contradictions in the McCann’s story. The Embassy warned, in writing, that being perceived as too close to the McCanns might not prove wise. They demanded the instruction from London be reconfirmed. It was.

I know of people’s misgivings because I was told directly. But material was also leaked to a Belgian newspaper confirming what I have said. It was published by the Express, but like so much other material which is not supportive of the McCanns, it got taken down. Fortunately that last link preserved it. It also shows that the FCO continues to refuse Freedom of Information requests for the material on the interesting grounds that it might damage relations with Portugal.

For the avoidance of doubt, I do not believe there was a high level paedophile ring involved. I make no such argument. Nor do I claim to know what happened to Madeleine McCann. But I do believe that the McCanns were less than exemplary parents. I believe that New Labour’s No.10 saw, in typical Blair fashion, a highly photogenic tragedy which there might be popularity in appearing to work on.

And I believe there is a genuine danger that the high profile support from the top of the British government might have put some psychological pressure on the Portuguese investigators and prosecuting officers in their determinations.

The Sun today has mistakenly said the £95k from the Home Office to SY was given to the McCann's fund.This can only increase the mounting public doubts about them.Was this a deliberate error? It's such a crass mistake if not.Our MSM is such rubbish.

I recently read that they gave conditions to SY not to interview them or the Tapas ,no reconstruction, and they dictate to SY who they can and can't talk too re that night. Imagine where does all this priority come from, I was under the understanding it was the police who made decisions. The truth will out one day

MESSAGE to NEWCOMERS

This blog believes that concerning the MADDIE McCANN case the following happened:

- Maddie McCanndied in the early evening of May 3rd, 2007, in the Apartment 5A. We believe the death to have been accidental.

- At the time of Maddie's death the Praia da Luz's Ocean Club was hosting a large swinging holiday (which we believe took place in various locations in and around Praia da Luz - from Lagos to Sagres) in which the McCanns and friends were part of among many others.

- After Maddie's death a cover-up of unseen proportions and scope took place not to hide Maddie's death but with the main purpose of hiding the presence of swinging. To achieve that, Maddie's death had to be hidden.

- We don't believe there was any sort of negligence involved in the Maddie affair. We don't believe that T9 dined at Tapas Bar from Sunday to Wednesday. We think that on those nights they left their children with professional nannies - as did other guests - to go dine downtown PdL. On Thursday night they did use Tapas but that was simply part of what was to be "negligence"that was required to allow Maddie to be "abducted."

PJ's Declaration for Reopening Process:

"Madeleine McCann

As is the case with any situation in which a child goes missing, notwithstanding formal dismissal of the inquiry into her disappearance, and just as has always been publicly stated, the Polícia Judiciária never stopped paying close attention to any and all information that might possibly shed light on the whereabouts of the minor Madeleine McCann, the circumstances surrounding her disappearance and the identity of the perpetrator(s).

It was with this goal in mind that in March 2011 the National Director of the Polícia Judiciária entrusted a team of investigators from the North Directorate with the mission of reassessing, as a whole, the vast amount of information gathered during the inquiry, aimed at identifying data for which a more in-depth investigation might be useful and possible.

The reassessment which took place over the last two years and a half suggested new evidence to have surfaced, which, requiring the investigation to proceed, meets the requirements set out by section 279(1) of the Portuguese Code of Criminal Procedure for reopening of the inquiry.

Accordingly, a request for reopening was made to the Public Prosecutor for the jurisdiction of Portimao, and approval granted by the latter. "
